DEFINITIONS

CNEMOSCOPUS
(Thraupidae; Ϯ Grey-hooded Tanager C. rubrirostris) Gr. κνημος knēmos  mountain-slope; σκοπος skopos  searcher, watcher  < σκοπεω skopeō  to watch out; the Grey-hooded Tanager was described from the temperate Andes of Colombia; "CNEMOSCOPUS, gen.nov.   Type.—Arremon rubrirostris Lafresnaye.   Characters.—Similar to Hemispingus in form and in shape of bill; legs much shorter - wing four and one quarter times the length of the tarsus (three and one half times in Hemispingus); coloration decidedly different from any of the species in the genus Hemispingus, the red bill, gray head, and yellowish green body being very distinctive. Except for the more slender, red bill, the general appearance suggests the genus Eucometis." (Bangs & Penard 1919); "Cnemoscopus Bangs and Penard, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 43, p. 38, 1919—type, by orig. desig., Arremon rubrirostris Lafresnaye." (Hellmayr, 1936, Cat. Birds Americas, Pt. IX, p. 417).
